What type of memory card do you need?
SD stands for Secure Digital, and it is the most widely used memory card. These memory cards come in two main physical sizes – Standard SD card and Micro SD card. Standard SD cards are commonly used in compact cameras, system cameras, and camcorders, while Micro SD cards are typically used in mobile phones and action cameras. With the right adapter, you can use a Micro SD card as a Standard SD card.
How much information do you want to store on the memory card?
The letters SD are usually followed by either HC or XC. These letters stand for High Capacity and Extended Capacity and refer to the storage capacity of the memory card. SDHC cards can store between 4GB and 64GB, while an SDXC card can store from 64GB upwards.
How fast should the card be able to write and read the information?
When recording high-resolution video or continuous shooting of images, the memory card must be able to process the information quickly. It may therefore be a good idea to check how fast the memory card can store the information.
